L'autore

Born and educated in England, Sabina Shalom was a volunteer social worker with concentration camp survivors in Europe after the war. An assignment to one of Les Maison des Enfants des Déportées in France brought into her care Elie Wiesel, a youngster who later became the illustrious Nobel Laureate.Under the chairmanship of Lady Lionel de Rothschild, Sabina subsequently directed an operation called ?Rescue Children,? which brought orphaned youngsters to England and placed them in foster homes. Later, as a broadcast-journalist with the BBC London, she wrote and presented an overseas program to enable Holocaust survivors to try to find other living relatives abroad.After her marriage she moved to the United States where raising her children became her full-time job. As they matured, she turned to writing and her articles have been published on both sides of the Atlantic. Sabina has spoken to various organizations nation-wide and was invited to give a series of lectures abroad three trans-Atlantic voyages of the Q.E.2.Shalom continues to contribute her time to reading for the Blind and was honored for her work with Hospice. Her thirteen-year tenure with the American Lung Association culminated in the enactment of a law in Florida prohibiting smoking in elevators, supermarkets, and the workplace. This landmark case was later enacted as law nation-wide and ?in recognition of this community service to health organizations throughout the country? Sabina was made an Honorary Life Member of the American Lung Association.Sabina and her husband, Mark, are naturalized American citizens. They live in Bethesda, Maryland, and have two sons and four grandchildren.
